'Select timeline' shortcut is gone?!

[Bezedor]

I'm unable to assign a shortcut to 'select timeline'; it's missing from the list of commands when I open the Keyboard Shortcuts window. Has it been removed? This was one of the most useful shortcuts! Now to select the timeline I either have to click with the mouse or press the 'Select Next Panel' shortcut repeatedly until I get there.

Am I missing something?

What PPro version are we talking about here?

What was your previous shortcut?

[Bezedor]

Sorry, forgot to mention: it is Premiere Pro CC 2017

My previous shortcut was 0 on the numpad.

As a matter of fact, I lost some of my shortcuts after the update but have been able to re-create them - just not this one. Can't find it!

[mike96]

Yeah, missing here as well. Used to be Shift+3 to go to the Timeline Panel.

[zefrey]

Please return the shortcut to Select the Timeline (and each individual panel). I had a mouseless workflow please bring it back!

Try alt+shift+3

[Bezedor]

Thanks for the tips but Shift+3 or Alt+Shift+3 don't work for me.

I changed the default shortcut long ago and didn't experience any problems but after the update my shortcut (numpad 0) stopped working - while the default one doesn't work either. Then I realized I wasn't able to re-create my shortcut because this command is simply missing from the list!

Have you tried using the default shortcuts, actually switching the Keyboard Layout Preset to Adobe Premiere Pro Default?

[mike96]

I tried all of the above, even switching to the Premiere Pro default layout. The keyboard shortcut for it isn't even in the list. Like Bezedor, I had also changed mine a long time ago.

Still working here.  (Shift+3)

I also rely on my keyboard shortcut to select the timeline and now it is gone and can't be replicated.  Ridiculous.  I sent a feature request.  I hope others do as well.

How to assign a custom keyboard shortcut to the timeline in Premiere Pro CC2017:

1. Close all open timelines.

2. Go to Edit > Keyboard Customization

3. Change the shortcut to the one you want.

4. Click OK.

5. Done.

If one or more timeline/s is open it´s impossible to set a keyboard shortcut to either Timeline, Source Monitor and Program Monitor. Closing all timelines solves this until Adobe fix this issue, if they do.

[James_Sireno]

It actually was an option up until this latest release - and I used it constantly.

The problem is that the particular shortcut is no longer available at all within the Keyboard Customization panel.

[Averdahl]

I see them here, when i close all timelines. (See the attached image)

If you cant see them i would recommend you to uninstall Pr CC2017 and re-install it to get all bits in place.

[James_Sireno]

You are absolutely right - It was killing me that I couldn't get that working.  Thanks so much!

[Averdahl]

It was killing me that I couldn't get that working. Thanks so much!

You´re welcome!

And yes, i was as frustrated when i stumbled over this when i upgraded and was on the verge to go back to CC2015 since i am using as much keyboard shortcuts as i possible can.

[camilaanselmo]

It's a bug! It worked for me. The shortcut for "Timeline" has appeared when i closed all the timelines.

Thanks!

[Bezedor]

Closing all timelines indeed solves this!

Thanks a lot Averdahl.

Since the 2017 update, selecting a specific panel is definitely no longer an option.  This presents a huge problem for me because I regularly use a ton of custom macro commands.  Many of these require a particular timeline panel to be selected for certain steps.  I could just tell it to Select Next Panel (Shift-Control-.)  but I's need to do it a certain of times to simulate what I use to do with a single command.  Plus it would then need to be reprogramed every time a move my panels around.  It seems small, but for many of us it is really inconvenient to lose something like this.  I hope it's just an oversight and that it will be fixed soon.  Definitely fill out the Feature Request/Bug Report Forms

There is not option to select Keyboard Customizations under Edit on a Mac. Has anyone been able to assign the timeline to a shortcut on a Mac on CC 2017?

[robinb92731898]

Works like Averdahl says, even with a Mac. Close all timelines, go to keyboard editor, look for ( = enter as search term) "timeline"/ "project" etc., under "window" enter the shortcut to the right.
